Escape from Danger

BBC Television
on BBC Television

As man's machines take him higher into the atmosphere and deeper under the sea, the problems of escaping in case of mechanical failure become more serious.
Captain Joseph Kittinger, U.S.A.F. is seen in an experimental parachute descent from a balloon nearly 80,000 feet above the earth.
Commander George Bond, U.S.N. demonstrates a revolutionary method of escaping from a depth of many hundreds of feet without any apparatus and Charles Collingwood talks to both men about their researches.
